I just wanna say that I really appreciate you posting this each week, duder. Seriously, it's greatly appreciated. *runs off to finish reading post*

All I know is that if I didn't watch anymore, I wouldn't have seen the Triple H Vs. Ric Flair match from Taboo Tuesday last night. It's probably my WWE MOTY so far. I agree that the last month of WWE TV has been bad. Really bad. Actually, that's probably still an understatement. Still, the nuggets are there. That's part of the reason why I still watch. That's part of the reason why I'll continue to watch. EDIT: That's another thing. If I don't follow the product, I can participate in threads about Matches of the Year and shit and I get a lot of enjoyment outta that stuff.

I'm just curious if anyone else has ran into this. It comes up a lot for me, especially when WWE is at a low point, like right now. Personally, I've been watching WWE for twenty years. I've watched Raw since it's initial inception on USA. I watched WCW up until they went out of business. Same with ECW. I watch wrestling because I'm a wrestling fan. Even when the overall product is bad, there's always at least something that I can get into. So, when you've been watching as long as most of us have, and you know that this business goes through it's peaks and valleys, what do you do when someone, usually someone that doesn't even follow the product anymore, simply says "just stop watching." It's like they don't understand that we want the product to get better. We want to be there when the rebound starts. We don't want to quit watching we just want to criticize the product when it's bad, the same that people whom talk about games and movies do. Ugh. This is kind of me just venting because it gets annoying defending yourself against someone that doesn't even watch the product anymore. Still, I know at least several of you have ran into this, so I'm curious how you handled it.

Really? So you're saving the stuff to your HD? EDIT: What'd you use for an e-mail address? You actually use some spam e-mail account or is there one I'm supposed to use?

Buck fiddy a match.

In a cage match, you lose when your opponent escapes. How did Triple H "avoid doing a clean job?" Just because he didn't get pinned or submit? Nevertheless, it was still MOTN.

Maybe he's a bad worker when compared to the greats of the world but if anyone can wrestle the "WWE style" it's Triple H.

I don't really know how to get this off the ground. Maybe we should just wait a month or so and then do a wrestler of the year top ten list?

WWE didn't really do anything with him last time, though, and he still managed to be entertaining.

We knew it was only a matter of time until Goldust came back once Dusty got hired. However, is it a bad move? When Goldust was in the company last time, he was consistantly one of the high points, both in ring and out, of each show. Will it be a "time will tell" type scenario?

"Once a Freebird, always a Freebird." Also:

So apparently Torrie Wilson got fired too? Meltzer just said she's gone. Anyone know what happened there?

Just out of curiosity, how does Triple H "have no clue?" He's more than capable as a worker.

I was just talking to a friend on-line today about the overall ramifications that this could have. I mean, Christian is good friends with Christopher Daniels and Rhino, both of whom are in TNA. Jericho, I assume, is good friends with them all as well. Now, in the past, Jericho has said that if (when) he returned to wrestling, it would only be to WWE. It'd be interesting to see if his opinion changed with Christian walking out. Of course, they weren't on the same shows anymore but still. I don't think Jericho would leave WWE because of Christian. Jericho has been around for quite some time now and I'm sure he's seen a lot of friends come and go. I don't think Christian is a big enough name to put TNA "on the map" so to speak. I don't think Jericho is either, although I think Jericho still has a bigger name than Christian. However, they're all pieces to a bigger puzzle. If you get a couple pieces, it'll start to look a lot more appealing. Like Loss said though, this is the biggest wrestling news to come out in some time.

It's surreal when you think about it. The Dudleys Vs. The Hardyz Vs. Edge & Christian were big matches in WWE. The Dudleys & Jeff Hardy are already in TNA. Christian will probably be showing up soon. Matt Hardy was close to going at one time too. Edge is currently on the shelf due to injury again.

Damn. I guess that puts this, at least in my eyes, in the true column. Well, here's to hoping that he stays in the business and gets some matches in ROH before jobbing to a Jarrett guitar shot in TNA.

I'm curious what his breaking point was. Maybe the Boogeyman and the midgets getting TV time on Smackdown?

I can't help but think back to Edge's book when he talked about Christian not wanting wrestling as bad as he did. In fact, he even got in after Edge even though they were childhood friends and Edge was already "on his way." If that's true, I'm more afraid that this is true and Christian will get out of the business instead of going to work TNA, ROH or Japan when he no compete clause ends.

I'm not believing it at this second. Who knows though? Has WWE.com tried to work the 'net in the past? Is Halloween a special enough occasion?

I just want to point out that 370 lbs. was a typing error. He's 310.

Apparently he has a pretty big resume. He's 6'6", 310 lbs. and has a backround in Judo and Sambo. Apparently, he's done some acting work too. I don't see any reason why WWE wouldn't be high on him.

Apparently he was just there showing off some russian wrestler and just so happened to show his distain for not having power in TNA anymore.

It doesn't have to be some certain significant point that we start from. We could just simply state "the last twenty years" or whatever and do '85-'05

I'm not going to lie, I loved MMA 'Taker. I was happy when he got an Undisputed title run too. I remember really enjoying his ladder match with Jeff Hardy. He started doing a lot of different spots that I liked too. Hell, I remember when he beat TBS with a triangle choke. Now that was believable.

As soon as he talks, it's over.
